Description
Discover the hidden economic forces that shape your everyday life in this engaging exploration of how the world really works. Tim Harford reveals why the rich stay rich, why the poor struggle to escape poverty, and why buying a used car is such a risky proposition—all through witty real-life examples and surprising anecdotes. By uncovering the economic principles lurking beneath ordinary situations, from coffee shops to car dealerships, Harford demonstrates that economics isn't just about money and markets, but about understanding human behavior and decision-making. This eye-opening book transforms abstract economic theory into accessible, entertaining insights that will change how you see the world around you.
